Sound too good to be true? Well, yeah, sort of. "Free" is in quotes because this deal comes with three little strings attached. After 40-something years of fishkeeping, I'll be getting away from the hobby for awhile. So I'm letting my fish tank go. It's a 175 glass bowfront with glass lids, a custom black stand and canopy. Comes with white sand, live rock and 3 LED light strips. Here's the catch. I need a home for my two critters: a lovely 8"-ish Queen Angel (about 7 years old) and an ancient (20+ years old) Purple Tang. So the "winner" of the "free" tank is the person who a) wants it, b) I feel will provide a good home for the fish, and c) is willing to comply with the following:Caveat #2. I don't want any catastrophes while moving the tank out of my house, so professional moving service such as provided by Fish Gallery or Dallas North Aquarium is required. This this is dang heavy, and there are a few steps to navigate, so having a pro do it is a prerequisite.And that's it. All the strings. I live just east of White Rock Lake near the East Dallas / Garland boarder. Please provide a nice home, and do a better job cleaning it than I've done for the last couple of years. Also, I plan on parting out the equipment in the dry goods forum. Or if you want all the gear too, it's yours for $625. Includes everything pictured plus boxload of plumbing parts, including:
  • Artica Chiller
  • Sump
  • AquaMaxx Skimmer
  • top-off system
  • AquamMaxx fluidized sand filter (I have a brand new bag of sand for it too)
  • EcoTech Vectra M1 pump for overflows
  • a small Iwaki pump that powers the fluidized sand filter and the chiller
  • two (2) EcoTech MP40 circulating pumps with controllers and battery backup
I think that's about it. PM or e-mail me at jdhill@corrosionx.com if you have any questionsView attachment 7352View attachment 7357
 
I believe I just found a home for the fish, so if you want the tank, all we need to do is arrange a time for a service to come pick it up.
 
I think the gentleman who responded first to take the fish will pick them up this weekend or Monday. So the tank would be available Monday or anytime thereafter. Did you want the equipment too? If not, there’s another person who just wants the equipment, so either way is fine by me.
 
Correction, he’s picking up the fist right now. So you can get the tank today, any time Monday, or any afternoon/evening next week. Does that work?
